DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources report the men are taken
out of refugee camps near Damascus by Syrian intelligence agents and loaded
on Lebanese civilian trucks hired by the Syrian army. In Lebanon, half are destined
for the southern port town of Sidon and the rest for the Beqaa Valley. The estimated
1,200-1,500 men are operatives of Hamas, the Popular Front, the Democratic Front
and the Abu Mussa splinter faction.
